A-ma-zing!
This building is haunting and got something so spooky I totally adore it!
...
When built in 1913, the Michigan Central Station was the world's largest train station. The station was built fairly far from the downtown, with the hopes that it would anchor further development in the area. The station was used heavily through World War II, though the Great Depression slowed development in the city. Michigan Central Station saw declining usage shortly after. Unfortunately the station was never even filled to capacity with several upper floors never being used. The station finally closed for good in 1988. It has stood empty ever since.
